Fantasy Football Breaking News

Los Angeles Rams WR Robert Woods (shoulder) said that he's playing in the team's Week 15 game Sunday, Dec. 17, versus the Seattle Seahawks.

Huddle Up: Woods had arguably the best back-to-back stretch of his career before missing the last three contests with a shoulder injury. He's certainly developed into one of quarterback Jared Goff's favorite weapons, and thus, as long as he's able to suit up this weekend, the former Buffalo Bill can be reinserted into lineups as a WR3.

New York Jets WR Jeremy Kerley was placed on the roster exemption list Wednesday, Dec. 13. He's coming off his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy, and the team can keep him on the list until Monday, Dec. 18, at 4 p.m. EST. Head coach Todd Bowles said they are still discussing what to do with Kerley.

Huddle Up: Prior to his suspension, Kerley had some relatively decent outings for PPR leagues. However, Bryce Petty is now under center for the injured Josh McCown, and as a result, there's just a significant enough downgrade at the quarterback position that owners might be better off staying away from his services. The ceiling of the Jets' offense will be very low from here on out.

Huddle Up: Graham was blanked last week in Jacksonville on just two targets, so he is a bit of a risky fantasy play heading into Week 15. If healthy, Graham has a so-so matchup against a Rams pass defense ranking 11th in the NFL. The severity of his injury will be known better on Friday when the official injury report comes out.

Seattle Seahawks RB Mike Davis (ribs) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 13, due to his ribs injury.

Huddle Up: The Rams rank 28th in the NFL against the rush, allowing 124.1 yards per game with 12 touchdowns through 13 games. Davis has some low-end RB2 potential if he is healthy and able to garner a majority of the backfield touches.

Oakland Raiders WR Cordarrelle Patterson (hip) was able to take part in a full practice session Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Huddle Up: Patterson has a golden opportunity, as he could face the Cowboys and their 23rd-ranked pass defense while starting opposite Michael Crabtree. That's assuming Amari Cooper (ankle) is unable to make his way back after aggravating his injury last week. If he starts, Patterson is a nice WR4 or flex fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Cooper aggravated his injury in the Kansas City game last week, and he was limited to just 15 snaps. He is a risky play this week in fantasy. If he cannot go it would be Cordarrelle Patterson likely starting opposite Michael Crabtree.

Huddle Up: Mariota has gone three straight games with less than 200 passing yards and has posted two touchdowns and four interceptions during that span. He will have a favorable matchup this week and could be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in deeper leagues.

Houston Texans WR Braxton Miller (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 13, as he remains in the concussion protocol.

Huddle Up: It's uncertain if Miller will be able to suit up in Week 15, but he would be facing a difficult Jaguars pass defense. His fantasy window appears to be shut now, too, as Will Fuller was able to return from a multi-week injury to join DeAndre Hopkins.

Huddle Up: Miller should be able to play, but check back officially on Friday when the injury report is released. He'll be up against a Jacksonville rush defense allowing 117.4 yards per game, 22nd in the NFL. He totaled 96 yards from scrimmage on 19 touches in the first meeting with the Jaguars back in Week 1.

Huddle Up: Lee has five or more grabs in five of the past six outings, emerging as a decent WR4 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues. He has slightly less value in standard play, although he has scored in three of the past six outings to help his value.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns (ankle) was on the sidelines for practice on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Huddle Up: Hurns is a question mark for Week 15, and with the emergence of Dede Westbrook and the solid play of Marqise Lee it's uncertain if Hurns will have much of a roll down the stretch when healthy.

Huddle Up: Fournette should be good to go for Week 15, but circle back around Friday for the official injury report. He rolled for 26 carries, 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Texans, and that was against a healthy Houston defense with J.J. Watt, Whitney Mercilus, etc. He remains a must-start fantasy option whenever active.

Huddle Up: Woods is expected to return to the lineup in Week 15, but owners should monitor the situation to see if he suffered any setbacks. He has played well this season and could be a No. 3 receiver or a flex option against the Seattle Seahawks.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 13, as he was resting.

Huddle Up: Stewart was getting the veteran's mid-week rest, and he certainly earned it going over 100 yards with three touchdowns against a stout Vikings defense last week. Despite the big game he should still be viewed as a RB3 or flex fantasy option against the Packers this week.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) was able to practice in full on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Huddle Up: Olsen sounds like he'll be healthy enough to go, but he remains a risky fantasy play. He returned in Week 12 and had just one catch for 10 yards before aggravating his injury, he was inactive in Week 13 and he was blanked last week against Minnesota. Use him at your own risk in Week 15.

Huddle Up: Newton has been resting or limited in mid-week practices all season, resting his surgically repaired shoulder. He'll be fine once the game is played, and he has an excellent matchup against the Packers. Green Bay ranks 24th in the NFL in pass defense, and they have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game over the past five weeks.

Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) was able to take part in a full practice session Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Huddle Up: McCaffrey might be hitting a bit of a rookie wall, as he has 51 or fewer total yards from scrimmage over the past two games, and he has just one touchdown over the past three outings. He has also faced some tough competition. The Packers pass defense is very giving, so he can be trusted as a RB3 or flex fantasy play despite the rough patch lately.

Huddle Up: Funchess has exceled as the team's No. 1 receiver, emerging as a useful WR3 or flex fantasy option across the board in most formats. He has a nice matchup against the Packers, the league's 24th-ranked pass defense.
